My Recovery Gallery debuted at the 2025 Hope Recovery Festival and made a significant impact through its first public appearance.
The Hope Festival was bustling with energy from the community. Community members and organizations alike came together to celebrate recovery and the success they found comes with it!
All day, community members were delighted to see the smiling faces and stories of their friends, families, and coworkers showcased. Reading about their recovery was more powerful than we could have ever imagined. These stories spread hope and light, showing those in attendance that recovery is possible.
Missed the debut? Don’t worry, My Recovery Gallery is on the move! Throughout 2026, the gallery will be popping up in community centers, small businesses, and public spaces across the region. Follow us on social media to see where the gallery will go next and join us in spreading hope through stories @makinithappngm.

A special thank you to Ron Troie: Edward Jones for being our Official Beverage Sponsor during this event, and Live Free Recovery Services for sponsoring this project.
